Reclaim Hispania -- Tears to Tiara II: Heir of the Overlord
coming to North America and Europe

Atlus U.S.A. and NIS America will be releasing the strategy
RPG in North America and Europe, respectively.

Turn-based strategy fans, rejoice! ATLUS will be bringing over
the cult hit SRPG (that's strategy role-playing game) to North
America and NIS America will be releasing the game in Europe. ATLUS
is handling the localization of text into English, and the game's
original Japanese audio will be left intact.

It will be exclusive to the PS3 and release Oct. 14 for $39.99,
and will be an 80+ hour experience that combines strategic
turn-based gameplay with an exciting story that unfolds like a
visual novel.

IRVINE, Calif. - July 25, 2014 - The thunder of
mounted elephant warriors will rain down upon the Divine Empire as
the last heir to Hispania's throne fights to reclaim his land. The
strategy RPG
Tears to Tiara II: Heir of the Overlord is coming to the
Americas and Europe in 2014, and will be the first localized
experience western players have with the strategy RPG franchise.
Oh, and though it has "II" in the title, it requires no
a priori knowledge of the games to enjoy the story. The
characters, their relationships and more are revealed in visual
novel-style gameplay over an 80-hour experience with the original
Japanese dialogue audio and English text, exclusively on the
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
Tears to Tiara II will be available in stores and
digitally for the awesomely low price of $39.99 beginning Oct. 14
2014 in North America. The game will release in Europe on Nov. 11
at a price still TBD. Updates will be posted on the official site:

Tears to Tiara II follows Hamilcar Barca, a young man
eking his way through life indentured to the Divine Empire. But
when the Empire burns an innocent girl at the stake, he unleashes a
terrible secret-his unbridled rage and demonic might of the
berserker. With his newfound strength, and the insistence of a
goddess, Hamilcar shoulders the burden of freeing his people from
the tyranny of a corrupt Empire. On his journey to free himself and
his enslaved people, he will fight alongside powerful allies,
beasts, and even the gods themselves. However, he must control the
demon within first, lest he himself turns the world to ash.

Tears to Tiara II features:

More than 15 main characters to get to know as the story
unfolds in visual novel style. From a timid lad who hides an
intense hatred within to a crude war goddess who's never seen the
earth below, characters will meet, forge relationships and
alliances, and get pushed to their limits in the quest to free
themselves from the Divine Empire.

Strategic turn-based gameplay will challenge the most
battle-hardened generals with its combat. Use your allies, and even
giant creatures, to help turn the tide in battle.

Joint Attacks, Consecutive Strikes, and Boost Magic mechanics
add extra depth to the strategy gameplay and make for more
replayability.

Original Japanese story and battle audio.

Tears to Tiara II will be released exclusively on the PS3
Oct. 14, 2014

for a price of $39.99, and on Nov. 11, 2014 in EU with pricing
information to follow soon. Updates about the game will be posted
